In mid-June, within a single weekend, two atrocities occurred in Oosee kebele, about 25 km from Garba Guracha (Kuyu district) N Showa. A woman bringing home oil from a market was stopped on the road by government forces, accused of feeding OLA soldiers and killed on the spot. Another five women were shot dead while tending their cattle, because ‘their husbands were not there’ and were therefore presumed to have joined OLA.
